“David Glinski has been a delight to deal with. His insistence on craftsmanship and attention to detail insured a high quality product. He promised customer satisfaction and has seen to it that it was delivered. He is a warm friendly man with superb people handling skills who went out of his way to solve problems as they arose. What impressed us most about Dave was his interest in finding solutions to the various problems instead of wasting time fault-finding or placing blame. In addition he answered any and all questions we had and saw to it that we got exactly what we wanted. He made us feel that we were important and that our input was welcome…”

“Dave, and Dave alone, has worked with us since the outset. He has answered questions, solved problems, worked out alternatives and assisted in many other ways. We’re grateful we had him to work with, especially in a time when one hears mostly negative comments.”

“We know there is a potential for difficulties with every new home construction. That’s life and stuff happens. The bottom line is that Dave Glinski was accountable for the complete job. We commend him for the way he handled himself when the pressure was on. If we can ever give a recommendation for the service, not to mention the product, please let us know.”

“We’d like to express our sincere thanks for all you’ve done in helping us realize our dream of building a home. You’ve made this a whole lot easier!”

“In 1992, Dave Glinski built a house for me in the Oro Valley area. My husband and I were hoping to build our dream house, and we were so lucky to pick Dave to oversee the process. He was so knowledgeable and interactive; several of the suggestions he made were so good that I still enjoy them every day (i.e.: raising the porch roof a foot above normal height and having oversized windows to better catch the view)! He also listened to my ideas and was able to make my special needs become a workable reality. He paid attention to our dreams and our budget, and created a wonderful house that has been practically maintenance free for 18 years!

I recently called Dave on a Sunday and left a voice mail hoping he could help me locate the septic tank. He not only returned my call that day, he was also able to tell me exactly where the tank was located!! I continue to be astounded by the dedication this builder has to his customers, and cannot give high enough praise to the wonderful work that he does. THANKS, Dave for a wonderful home!!! You’ve touched my life with your work and your work ethic!”

“It’s our delight to learn that David Glinski, founder and President of Sunset Custom Homes has been nominated for Builder of The Year by SAHBA.

We’ve just moved into our beautiful new home built by Dave’s company. Although very excited, we still have a long way to go in unpacking and organizing in addition to our full time jobs. So unfortunately we cannot accommodate a tour by the award committee. However, it’s certainly our pleasure to “cast our vote” for Dave to receive this prestigious award.

This is our second home built by Dave. The first one was constructed in a subdivision back in 2000. We were pleasantly surprised with the attention to detail and quality components that he put into such an affordable “track home”. Even more importantly, we were very impressed with the patience and professionalism he’d had with every home owner throughout the subdivision.

So when we discovered the dream lot last year to build our first full custom home, we naturally included Dave among the several local home builders for the bid. Not surprisingly we ended up having him build our dream home. Now that we’ve gone through the journey with him over more than a year of design and construction we are absolutely sure that we made the right decision to choose Dave over other builders, for the second time.

While others in the business boast their experience and accomplishment (things that he is second to none), what Dave set himself apart is his passion and care. Although most builders who survived the real estate down turn can build you a nice house, Dave will help you create a home you love every step of the way.

In order to acquire our dream lot we had to go way over budget, which left us with less money to build. Other builders that we interviewed were either making quick promises or telling us to build a less house. In contrast Dave invested his time to address all our concerns about the lot and other potential costs, looked for a reputable architect for us and negotiated an affordable price for the design based on the sketch we’d drawn. He also explained the whole process in great detail so that we felt informed and confident to move forward.

When our material selection came back over budget, Dave sat down with us and patiently went through each item to make sure that we’d retain the must haves and suggested quality alternatives based on his knowledge and experience. He respected our choices of personal taste while being assertive about substitutions that he believed to be of little difference in quality or functionality to help us balance the budget.

During the construction phase, Dave not only acted as the coordinator and superintendent, but also played roles of designer and craftsman. He is there for us whenever we asked for help, regardless whether it was selection of paint colors or custom woodwork for access panels. He also proactively stepped in when he believed that a wrong decision or a suboptimal installation had been made. For instance, he prompted us to change our roof tile selection to much more artistically pleasing colors and handcrafted architecturally exquisite soffits to match the cabinets in the wet bar and bathrooms.

Dave’s passion for delivering a high quality home does not stop at the completion of construction. He helped us layout the driveway, designed the erosion controls, and supervised the grading that are above and beyond the code requirement and building contract. And he did it all with great care as if he were looking after his own property.

So when Dave says that nothing makes him happier than putting a smile on a home owner’s face, we know that it’s not just a company slogan of Sunset Custom Homes – he means it from the bottom of his heart. And we are sure that all of the many satisfied customers of SCH would want to see the smile on Dave’s face when he is deservingly awarded SAHBA Builder of The year.”
